After last week's continuation of the main story and establishing the dungeon in Mountainreach, we start with this week the first of the 2 lewd focused weeks!

We return to Earth for new corruption scene content. And in Roya also to all blowjob scenes for some new CGs! There are 3 new real world corruption scenes, of which 2 are lewd scenes, and in Roya 1 new lewd scene. In addition to that, you have probably already seen the new H-CG featuring Aura giving a blowjob in various costumes and position variations.

Regarding the new H-CG, I was a bit faster than anticipated and managed to integrate it into all 3 blowjob scenes Toll Bandit Leader + Asking For Drugs 1 + Asking For Drugs 2. 

EDIT: Haha, I totaly forgot that this this week. Also regarding lewd content, I integrated the 4th Young Merchant (now called Hermann) Date into the game. Try to reach 3 Standing with Edwin before starting the scene to get a minor variation!

In the new corruptions scenes Aura has to continue her struggles with her budding inner perversion. This time, instead of masturbation, she tries to use George to get rid of some sudden horniness attacks. I finished two lewd scenes involving this, one being a kissing scene, the other a handjob scene. The third yet to be written one is planned to be a sex scene. 

Originally, I wanted to reach that scene this week, but I didn't manage to begin writing this scene yet. At work, starting with this week, home office is being reduced step wise until it will mostly be mostly abolished again by next month. Being able to sleep in + do some early morning work + not feel tired in the evening to work on the game was pretty helpful for productivity. Switching back to office after 2 years of mostly home office was a tougher change than I expected. Getting up early for commute, no time to do some early work on the game in the morning, and then being tired in the evening feeling tired and fighting the urge to go to sleep over working on the game. I hope this is just transitional and when I back to being used to commuting and having to interact with a bunch of people every day again, I can work with my usual speed. But this could also potentially become a bit of an issue. We will need to see.

Finally, a minor update regarding the UI. The artist has finished most of the important menus, the mockup of the main menu you can see above. Next up is the battle hud. Also, I have found a competent and affordable plugin developer who can lighten the load on my shoulders regarding the UI overhaul implementation and will most likely do most of the work there. He finished the implementation of the Main Menu and is overall quite fast. With a bit of luck we can have the updated UI in the game by the July release.
